Hi, apologies for the recent downtime, unfortunately we've had a ddos attack on the site tonight, which basically tries to over-run the server with requests in order to bring it down. We're putting protection in place to try to negate it so hopefully that;ll be it now, but please bear with us.
Thanks
Paul

Thanks Paul, what is it with these nerds on DOS attacks?
Are they really that sore that Spring is here, and the snowy season has come to an end

Nerdy teenagers-50-somethings still living in their parents' homes who are at their happiest in their bedrooms with the lights down and the same bedsheets for two years or more who get some kick out of thinking what they do matters...

Spot on, great comment. All so immature as make 10 year olds seem mature by comparison
